如何提升自己的英語學習能力(2)

　　我的學習習慣不好。在測驗或考試之前最后時刻臨時抱佛腳，讓我的大學生活鴨梨很大。需要作出一些改變了，因為我可能會沒拿到學位就退學。無論你們是應屆生還是復讀生，我保證你們也都不想這樣。

　　Fortunately, I stumbled onto a study skills strategy that saved me. This method virtually eliminates the need to cram for exams. I started using this strategy to completely change my study habits and it made a huge difference for me.

　　幸運地是，我連滾帶爬地摸索到了一種學習技巧，這種學習策略救了我。這種方法讓我不再需要考前臨時抱佛腳。我逐漸用這種方法徹底改變了學習習慣，它讓我煥然一新。

　　This study strategy is ideal especially for courses that involve final exams that cover all material that was introduced during a semester or entire year. Here is what this strategy involves.

　　對于那些在期末考試中要考查一學期或一學年內所有學習內容的課程，這種學習方法尤其有效。下面就是這種學習方法的要點。

　　For each of your courses, schedule a regular study session each week.

　　l 對于你學的每一門課程，在每一周中都規劃一個特定的學習時間段。

　　Stick to this study session schedule faithfully like a job.

　　l 就像上班一樣遵守這一學習日程安排。

　　During each study session, review everything that you have covered in your course so far from day one to present.

　　l 在每個學習時間段里，復習從這門課第一天到目前為止的所有內容。

　　Continue reviewing all content each week even if you don’t have an upcoming test or exam.

　　l 堅持在每一周都復習所有的內容，即使不是面臨測驗或考試。

　　Although there will be more material to cover each week for each course as you move along the semester, covering earlier material will become faster as you become more familiar with them each week. You might not have to increase that much time to each study session as the year goes by.

　　在一個學期中，盡管每周你要學的內容都比上一周更多一些，但越早學的材料你越熟悉，所以也會越快。所以在這一年里，你在每周每次花的時間并不會增加那么多。

　　The beauty of this study habits strategy is that by the time final exams roll around, you will be quite familiar with most of the course content because you have been reviewing it each week.

　　這種學習習慣建立策略的優點在于，當期末考試的滾滾車輪壓到你面前的時候，你將會對課程中的大部分內容非常熟悉，因為你每周都在復習。

　　Using this strategy will allow you to go into your final exams with much more confidence than ever before. The only new material is the most recent since older content will be well absorbed into your head from all those weeks of regular study.

　　運用這種策略，你在邁入期末考試的考場時會信心十足。只有剛學過的那些內容才是新的材料，因為經過每周有規律地學習，舊的學習內容已經記得很牢了。

　　No more cramming for exams

　　考試不用再臨時抱佛腳

　　This study strategy worked wonders for me as it took me from a ‘C’ average student to ‘B+/A-’ average by graduation. This not only allowed me to finish my degree successfully, it got me into MBA school where I needed to have even better study habits in place.

　　這種學習策略對我來說很有效，因為我的成績從平均得“C”提升到了畢業時的“B+/A-”。它不僅讓我成功地拿到了學位，還讓我得以就讀 MBA 商學院，在那里我有了更好的學習習慣。

　　So there it is – my top study skills strategy that basically involves weekly review of everything that you’ve covered in your courses to date. So no more cramming for exams needed!

　　沒別的了——這就是我的超級學習策略，說白了就是每周復習迄今為止的所有學習內容。別再考前臨時抱佛腳啦!
